While we are at it, why not let us compare the death rate from the Corona virus to the death rate from the hydrogen bomb. The virus looks soooo much safer....

What difference does it make what other illnesses etc are like? We are talking about the dangers of this virus, for which we have nothing to defend ourselves from.
